DNA arrays decipher genome's master switches

Researchers at Whitehead Institute and Corning Inc. have invented a powerful new microarray technique that can decipher the function of master switches in a cell by identifying the set of genes they control. The technique allows researchers to unravel in a week what takes years to achieve by conventional methods.
